THE WINTER CLOAK.

A stately Sort Of Garment which Com

ment to which low bows are in order.

havior allowable. It is long cloak.
covering the figure from head to foot;
it is costly cloak, never dropping in
price below the hundreds; it is an awe
inspiring cloak. with its air Of warmth.
and luxury. and carriage cushions. and
full pocket-books. The city is pros
porous and everything goes well when
such cloak is not the occasional. but
The constant apparition.
The winter cloak is rich. almost .
regal. silk plush. that avoids. rs il it
were contamination. the look of seal

hind with long. simple draperies. ad-
justed over the hustle. 1t is. perhaps.

it has . broad edge Of long bears fur

It doesn't condescend to jet or beads.
Its nobby. its one delight is braid.
Sometimes IL has . network Of intri.
catcly woven silksn cords laid over it
simulsting the short wrap whose
place the cloak has usurped. Some
times it has . cape or . visite form
upon its shoulders concocted Of this
same rich delicately silk braid. Some
times it contents itself simply with q
braided vest. and nearly always it has
panel draperies Of elaborately wrought
braid work. The cloak in fact aspires
to be . lavishly rich outer gown Of
plush for street or carriage with gown

Frederick Warde.

The repertoire decided upon for rep
resentation by this eminent tragedian,
next week is es follows: Monday and
Saturday matinee, Virginius; Tuesday
and Friday nights, Galba the Gladiator;
Wednesday, Damon and Pythias, and
Thursday and Saturday nights, Rich
ard III.
Reserved seats for the entire engage.
ment are now on sale at the box cfiics.
Concerning Mr.. Warde's Interpretation
of Virginins, the New York Mirror
says:
Frederick Warde was warmly received
in Tirginius at the Peoples Theatre, on
Monday night. He has been taken to
the hearts OF the people as star of un.
doubted ability. Throughout the play
he was effective without being blatant,
and strong without being vociferous or
noisy. His earnestness in invectve
and his pathos in the scenes with his
daughter called forth round after round
of applause. Following the scene be.
fore "Appius Claudius' he was thrice
called before the curtain. The success
of the star may be attributed in some
measure to his excellent support, which
was evenly good.
